Christmas habits vary from country to country. And so are meals in the Christmas season. For instance, on December 24, Italian families all over the world gather together for La Viglia di Natale–the Christmas vigil–where fish is the main ingredient on the menu instead of meat.

This recipe is also suitable with meat of you choice, like duck, goose or even chicken which is used in many countries for the holiday meals. Just pay attention to the cooking time, since chickens are usually pretty small compared to turkeys.
